Lebanese

Overview

ACE Seeds introduces a classic Lebanese sativa, a decade in development, renowned for producing premium red and blonde Lebanese hash. Adapted for outdoor cultivation in hot, arid environments, this pure sativa is drought and heat resistant. It showcases semi-autoflowering tendencies, completing its cycle by the end of summer with a flowering time of 9-11 weeks. Expect foxtailed buds with sweet, floral, citric, and mango aromas, leading to a blonde hash smoke profile. Offers a pleasant high with significant CBD levels (6-16%), making it a valuable medicinal strain.

Cultivation Insights

Particularly suited to outdoor growth in warm, dry climates. Its semi-autoflowering nature supports early flowering without the need for flowering stimulators, which can trigger hermaphroditism. For indoor growth, avoid restricting root space and use long photoperiods to prevent untimely flowering. A moderate nutrient regime is said to be recommended, with slightly higher PK in the initial two-thirds of flowering. This strain is a promising tool for breeding robust, high-yielding, and fast-flowering outdoor hybrids with high CBD content.

• Genetics: 4th generation Lebanese pure sativa.
• Structure: Initially robust with wider leaves in its first stages of life, later developing into a pure sativa of medium size, with thin leaves and strong branching.
• Bouquet: Sweet and floral aromas in flowering, acquiring citric and mango tones during curing. ‘Blonde hash’ aroma in the smoke, reminiscent of moroccan hash. Woody, sweet and sour taste.
• High: Clean, cheerful and pleasant, a great quality high that is smooth and not too long lasting, with great medicinal potential due to its remarkable content in CBD.
• Terpene profile: Complex and rich terpene profile. It mainly contains the following monoterpenes: high amounts of terpinolene and alpha pinene, followed by beta pinene and limonene in moderate quantities, with variability in the beta myrcene content and variability in the presence of smaller amounts of linalool and trans ocimene. Sesquiterpenes: mainly beta-caryophyllene (75-100 %) with variability in the presence of alpha hulenene (0-25 %).
• Growing Tips: Especially recommended for outdoor growing in hot and dry climates due to its excellent adaptability to heat and drought in its place of origin. Outdoors and due to its semi-autoflowering tendencies, it is said to be recommended to start them in large pots to maximize their growth before the flowering stage, and to increase the ratio of females. Landrace strain that has not yet been fully adapted to the stable photoperiods and artificial lamps of indoor growing, and although it can be easily grown indoors, it is said to be recommended not to use flowering stimulators to avoid the possible risk of hermaphroditic tendencies at the end of flowering. To keep parental plants indoors in the mother room, the breeder recommends the use of long photoperiods (20/4 or higher), and the use of large pots that do not restrict their root space, since otherwise it may start to flower in the mother room due to its semi-autoflowering tendencies. Genetic analyses show that this Lebanese sativa has a unique and uncommon genotype, with low genetic variability. Excellent breeding tool to produce vigorous and high yielding outdoor semi-autoflowering hybrids, with fast flowering, high resistance against heat and drought, and high CBD content. The breeder recommends moderate levels of nutrients for the whole cycle, slightly higher in PK in the first two thirds of the flowering period.
